In giving his decision, "his Lordship said: I have studied the scheme na far ns. I can, mainly from the point of view of the policy holders, as was specially noted by Mr. Georgo King in his exhaus tive actuarial report. It seems to me that both in the matter of reserve and bonuses this class will be better off under the arrangement than before, and in ad dition there will be behind each policy the great strength of the Sun Life Com pany.

two China Companies are distinct Cor- OFFICES &)98A, Wanchai Road, porations, but since 1920 the Shanghai GODOWNS. Life has been managed and housed by the China Mutaal. The agreements that have now been approved affect the in- terests of the policy-holders of both Cox panies in the same way, hence they need not be referred to separately.
"Before the agreements were approved the Courts ordered advertisements to be put in the principal papers in all coun- tries where these Companies did business so that the widest publicity should be given to the proposal. The High Court of Justice in England and the Minister of Finance for the Dominion of Canada having previously approved, the share- holders and policy-holders of the China Mutual and Shanghai Life have, at meet ings specially called for the purpose, also approved and the Supreme Court in Shanghai has now issued the final order making the agreements absolute. The Coarta Srst satisäed themselves that the Agreements were for the benefit of the policy-holders of all the Companies coa- cerned,
"This merging of the principal life insurance companies transacting business in China is an event of atstanding in. portance, not only in China and the Far Fast, but also throughout the world. The Sun Life Assurance Company of Canıda is the largest international company, being the only one transacting a purely life business in practically every part of the world. This Company writes annually a larger amount of new ordinary life, busi- ness than any other in the British Em- pire.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS.
The effect of this amalgamation and the benefits thereby conferred on the policy- holders of these Companies is outlined in detail in a report of Mr. George King, F.I.A. of London, the acknowledged ex- pert in these matters. Similar reporta were furnished by the actuary of the Sun

Mutual, and Mr. Henry J. Baker, the actuary of the Metropolitan Life Assur- ance Society.
"Thest reports, briefly, show that the policy-holders of the Chins Companies are guaranteed a continuance of all the bone- fits and privileges now enjoyed, and in addition many valuable advantages are assured them by the amalgamation. The security at the back of their policies will be considerably increased since the sets of the combined Companies will exceed £45,000,000 whereas the assets of the two China Companies amount to } £3,000,000. Also, the Sun. Com- pany's basis of valuation assumes an in- terest earning of three per cent, the a five per China Companies valuing on cent. basis. The practical effect of this is that reserves set up as security against the policy liabilities of the Sun Life Com- pany are about 12 per cent. greater than those hitherto set up against the habilities of the China. Mutual and Shanghai Life Companies.
"The scale of profits paid to the Sun Company's policy-holders is enormously more advantageous than that enjoyed by

policies for £1,000 issued in North China
and now maturing the Sun Life Assur- ance Company of Canada is paying in profits from £300 to £400, according to the age of the policy holder, this company having the enviable reputation of paying extremely high dividends to its policy holders. As soon as the reserves of the China Compenfes are a parity with those of the Sun Company profits accra- ing thereafter to policy holders of the China Companies will be on precisely the Hamag base as to holders of similar policies in the Sun Company.
"The policy-holders of the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada will benefit by the greatly increased clientèlo and organization and the resulting economy in the administration expenses due to the section of a large volume of business to their various divisions which will also aventually beneff the policy-holders of the merged Companies.
